Joyful Hearts Meeting- Nov 2012

Hi Stampers!

Between the hurricane, internet and power outages and work, I have been busy creating my 26 swap cards
for our quarterly Joyful Hearts demonstrator meeting that my lovely upline, Cindy Fodor held today. She is just the best upline possible and this meeting included her family serving us a wonderful dinner (turkey, beef, veggies, desserts-all of the food was fabulous and so fresh since it is from their farm)!! Thank you Cindy and family for such a grand evening of fun!!

This card is fairly simple to create:

Stamp the Ex Libris background stamp using
Early Espresso Classic Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock. Color the flowers, vines and borders with the
Aqua Painter using More Mustard, Always Artichoke and Bravo Burgundy Classic
Ink (be careful not to use too much water or the Early Espresso ink may run).

Stamp the medium flower image from Everything
Eleanor using Early Espresso Classic Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock. Again, using the Aqua Painter, watercolor
with More Mustard and Bravo Burgundy ink- once dry, add a second layer of ink
on some of the areas for dimension.

On Very Vanilla cardstock, stamp the
sentiment (with Early Espresso Classic Ink). Cut out the sentiment using the Big
Shot™ with the Apothecary Accents Framelits™ Die- lightly sponge the edges with
Crumb Cake ink and use the Color Spritzer Tool with the Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake
marker to add additional distressing.

Also with the Apothecary Accents Framelits™
Die and the Big Shot™, cut the label from Bravo Burgundy cardstock.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Lacy Brocade
Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss the watercolored Ex Libris background
panel as well as the Bravo Burgundy label die cut.

Assemble the background panel onto Bravo
Burgundy and Always Artichoke cardstock.
Add the embossed label and stamped sentiment along with the flowers
along the side.

Attach the ½” Always Artichoke Seam Binding
double bow and pearls to finish off the card.
